We consider the customer order scheduling problem with job capacity restriction where the number of jobs in the shop at the same time is fixed. In the customer order scheduling problem, each job is part of some batch (customer order) and the composition of the jobs (product) in the batch is pre-specified. The objective function is associated with the completion time of the batches instead of the completion time of the jobs. We first summarize the known results for the general customer order scheduling problems. Then, we establish some new properties for the problems with job capacity restriction. For the case of unit processing time with the objective of minimizing makespan, we develop a polynomial-time optimal procedure for the two machine case. For the same problem with a variation of no batch alternation, we also develop a polynomial-time optimal procedure. Then, we show that the problems with the objectives of minimizing makespan and minimizing average batch completion time become NP-hard when there exist arbitrary number of machines. Finally, We propose optimal solution procedures for some special cases.

Studies on the optimization of machining process can be divided into two different approaches: off-line feedrate scheduling and adaptive control. Each approach possesses its respective strong and weak points compared to each other. That is, each system can be complementary to the other. In this regard, a combined system, which is a feedrate control system fur cutting force optimization, was proposed in this paper to make the best of each approach. Experimental results show that the proposed system could overcome the weak points of the off-line feedrate scheduling system and the adaptive control system. In addition, from the figure, it can be confirmed that the off-line feedrate scheduling technique can improve the machining quality and can fulfill its function in the machine tool which has a adaptive controller.

This paper studies a single machine scheduling problem in which all jobs have the common due date and penalties are assessed for jobs at different rates. The scheduling objective is to minimize the weighted mean absolute deviations(WMAD). This problem may provide greater flexibility in achieving scheduling objectives than the mean absolute deviation (MAD) problem. We propose three heuristic solution methods based on several dominance conditions. Numerical examples are presented. This article extends the results to the problem to the problem of scheduling n-jobs on m-parallel identical processors in order to minimize the weighted mean absolute deviation.

To minimize makespan for preemptive sequence dependent job scheduling with parallel identical processors, fundamental results, as the basis of new algorithm to be presented, such as McNauton's algorithm for independent jobs, Hu's characterization for dependent jobs, and Muntz-Coffman's algorithm, were first introduced. Then a huristic procedure was presented applying those concepts of zoning of assembly line balancing and of resource leveling on CPM network scheduling with two or more of parallel machines in general. New procedure has eliminated presumative machine assignment using ${\rho}$, rate of resource capability (${\rho}$ < 1), for practical scheduling.

This paper describes an intelligent control-based job scheduler, named ESIJOBS, for flexible manufacturing system. In order to construct rulebase of this system, traditional rules of job scheduling in FMS are examined and evaluated. This result and the repetitional simulations with graphic monitoring system are used to form the rulebase of ESIJOBS, which is composed of three parts:six part selection rules, four machine center selection rules, and twenty-one metarules. Appropriate scheduling rule sets are selected by this rulebase and manufacturing system status. The performances of all simulations are affected by random breakdowns of major FMS components during each simulation. Six criteria are used to evaluate the performance of each scheduling. The two modes of ESIJOBS are simulated and compared with combinational 24 rule-set simulations. In this comparison ESIJOBS dominated the other rule-set simulations and showed the most excellent performance particularly in three criteria.

In contrast to conventional CNC, PC-NC opens a new era for machine tools to be more intelligent. For instance, machine tool with PC-NC can be a machine agent system with capability of reacting autonomously to changing operating conditions. This paper introduces a concept of intelligent machine agent system, composed of machine agent and cell manager. Machine agent performs the functions such as process monitoring, diagnosis, maintenance management, condition assessment and schedule negotiation, while cell manager coordinates the negotiation process among multiple machine agents.

Scheduling user-submitted cloud tasks to the appropriate virtual machine (VM) in cloud computing is critical for cloud providers. However, as the demand for cloud resources from user tasks continues to grow, current evolutionary algorithms (EAs) cannot satisfy the optimal solution of large-scale cloud task scheduling problems. In this paper, we first construct a large- scale multi-objective cloud task problem considering the time and cost functions. Second, a multi-objective optimization algorithm based on multi-factor optimization (MFO) is proposed to solve the established problem. This algorithm solves by decomposing the large-scale optimization problem into multiple optimization subproblems. This reduces the computational burden of the algorithm. Later, the introduction of the MFO strategy provides the algorithm with a parallel evolutionary paradigm for multiple subpopulations of implicit knowledge transfer. Finally, simulation experiments and comparisons are performed on a large-scale task scheduling test set on the CloudSim platform. Experimental results show that our algorithm can obtain the best scheduling solution while maintaining good results of the objective function compared with other optimization algorithms.

We investigate the scheduling problem for periodic job shops with blocking. We develop Petri net models for periodic job shops with finite buffers. A buffer control method would allow the jobs to enter the input buffer of the next machine in the order for which they are completed. We discuss difficulties in using such a random order buffer control method and random access buffers. We thus propose an alternative buffer control policy that restricts the jobs to enter the input buffer of the next machine in a predetermined order. The buffer control method simplifies job flows and control systems. Further, it requires only a cost-effective simple sequential buffer. We show that the periodic scheduling model with finite buffers using the buffer control policy can be transformed into an equivalent periodic scheduling model with no buffer, which is modeled as a timed marked graph. We characterize the structural properties for deadlock detection. Finally, we develop a mixed integer programming model for the no buffer problem that finds a deadlock-free optimal sequence that minimizes the cycle time.

A single machine scheduling problem for jobs with stochastic processing time is considered in this study. Shortest processing time (SPT) sequencing according to the expected processing times of jobs is optimal for schedules with minimal expected mean flow time when all the jobs arrive to be scheduled and their expected processing times are known. However, SPT sequencing according to the expected processing time may not be optimal for the minimization of the mean flow time when the actual processing times of jobs are known. This study evaluates the complexity of SPT sequencing through a comparison of the mean flow times of schedules based on the expected processing times and actual processing times of randomly generated jobs. Evaluation results show that SPT sequencing according to the expected flow time exhibits chaotic variation to the optimal mean flow time. The relative deviation from the optimal mean flow time increases as the number of jobs, processing time, or coefficient of variation increases.

This paper considers a parallel-machine scheduling problem with dedicated and common processing machines. Non-identical setup and processing times are assumed for each machine. A genetic algorithm is proposed to minimize the makespan objective measure. In this paper, a lowerbound and some heuristic algorithms are derived and tested through computational experiments.
